Debug menus

There are several debug menus that do not require debug mode to be enabled, but can only be accessed through memory editing or Action Replay codes.

This menu allows the player to select from 52 maps, 11 of which are test maps. If the player enters or exits a building in any of these maps, the game returns to the Forest Map Select menu.

Player select

When activated, pressing Start on the title screen displays a player select menu. Any of the four players living in town can be chosen. When chosen, the game immediately loads the selected player in the center of the player house acre; selecting a player that does not exist takes the player to the game's introduction on the train with Rover. The player can also choose to spawn in as a visitor from another town.

This menu is left untranslated from Japanese, and since Animal Crossing's font does not contain Japanese characters, the text appears corrupted.

Save type select

When activated, pressing Start on the title screen displays this menu. It is a leftover from Doubutsu no Mori and was likely used to test writing saves to both a Controller Pak and Game Pak.

This menu is left untranslated from Japanese, and since Animal Crossing's font does not contain Japanese characters, the text appears corrupted.
